For  many  years  you  bave  seen  your  coonti^  op«

bëf a  forced  to  draw  the  sword^  uid  rely  for  redrea»  | 
of  injuries  on  the  valour  uf  the  American  people. 

That  valouir  bas  been  consplctious.  But  the  na-^ 
tiotf  bas  been  unforlunate  in  the  sélection  of  soime 
of  those  who  directed  it.  One  army  has  been  dis- 
gracefully  syrrendered  and  lost.  Another  bai  becQ  | 
sàcrificed  by  a  precipitate  attempt  to  pasS  it  over  at  j

lAjçn  accustomcti  to  obédience,  silence, ^and  eteadi*!

able deposit  of  provisions  and  stores  at  Burlîng-

Two  parties  were  sent  on  shore,  who  took  some

that  the  enemy  was  lately  reinforced,  and  that 
he  bad  froni  600  to   800  regulars.     The  troops, 
"^ere,  bowever,  landed  the  next  morning,  loge-
